I'm tired of polyester. Why is it in everything. Why is it so hard to find clothing without it
>>18612182i have zero problems finding clothing made of cotton on a budget. you are retarded.
>>18612182
>>18612182it is so easy to find good stuff made of natural materials. if you can't find any you're not trying
>>18612400hi, rabbi!
>>18612182>Why is it in everything?Cheap and functional.
>>18612182you can cut costs but still sell it for the same price or less, lower priced poly will make a sale that pure cotton/wool doesn'talso backed by big oil, since oil is used to make polyester (US/saudi to thirdworlder export)since the same chemicals can be used to make solid plastic, you can get a two for one of making solids and fabrics from the same source, simplifying the supply chain and saving more moneyon the other hand, cotton/wool has to be cultivated and harvested, which represent a larger time (AKA money) investment than semi-automated chemical reaction factories
>>18612402Isn't Fruit of the Loom stupid cheap for ok cotton?
>>18612591>functional.it's worse than cotton and wool.
>>186121821. Cheap. Good for workwear which is intended to get ruined anyway.2. Fast fashion. I know people (women) who shop from Shein with the sole intent of buying something which is to only be worn once and then thrown away. You can't do that with stuff that costs more than $6.
>>18612182I don't know what kind of shitty shops you're shopping at, but on the internet it's pretty easy to find 100% cotton clothes (or frankly any other kind of material).Also polyester is cheap, warm and durable. Yes it has its drawbacks, but if you're regularly washing your stuff and don't care for the environment they're minor.>>18614373>buying something which is to only be worn once and then thrown awayI want to be mad, but frankly, if it's cheap enough for them to do that, it can't have consumed all that many ressources. The beef I ate yesterday cost approximately as much as a shein top and probably required more arable land to be fed than the cotton to produce that top. Consumption consumes ressources, that's just how it is.
my girlfriend started girltalking about...its really stupid...fabrics having frequencies? Like...i dont know it sounded really retarded. Anyone know what she was babbling about?
>>18614461Pseudoscientific nonsense. It's a somewhat popular myth that fabrics have "frequencies". Of what kind? They don't usually tell, and if they do it has no relation whatsoever to actual physics. Sorry anon, but your girlfriend my be retarded or getting her info from poor sources.
>>18612591Only cheap. There's nothing functional about plastic slop in everyday clothes.
>>18612182blends are better because they don't shrink and it adds some durability to certain natural fabrics. as long as it's majority cotton, linen, wool, then it still feels nice to touch and doesn't get all static-y
>>18614477she's a lawyer too. Never forget that women are retarded.
>>18614536People who spend a lot of time working in and studying narrow fields of expertise are liable to ridiculously wrong opinions in areas outside of that field. People of high status are even more liable to it since they're so used to being right about what they actually work with.
